Mets vs Braves prediction

The Braves are going to be favored more times than not, became of the talent in their lineup. The Mets are also winning lately, but the offense has yet to rally get going. With that said, Houser was solid in his Brewers debut, and we know what he’s capable of when he’s feeling good. Also, we know the Mets aren’t going to have scoring issues for long, as there are some power hitters in that lineup. Which Reynaldo Lopez are we going to get considering he was a starter earlier in his career and is now a relief pitcher getting the start. We’re getting almost two times our money. Give me the Mets.
